The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"Maximum [-] thunderbolt cars can be manufactured in a month..."

After getting this result, everyone was silent, twenty, what can you do, it is not enough to equip an army, and Liu Bei's twenty legions, except for Zhang Fei's pure cavalry legion, all other legions need this kind of thunderbolt car .

"The arsenal is stepping up the production of fatigue vehicles. The more the better, the military will purchase them all."

Chen Ziming placed an order directly with the military department, then turned his head to look at Guan Yu and said, "After going back, I will discuss with my eldest brother that in addition to the [-] legions, we are building several special regiments directly under the military headquarters, and they will be dispatched to the expeditionary army during wartime."

After seeing this alternative version of the cannon, Chen Ziming thought about it and came up with an idea. Anyway, the number and output of thunderbolt cars are limited, not scaled, and the attack effect is much smaller. It is impossible for every legion to distribute them.

Moreover, the thunderbolt chariot is too powerful to attack, so it is better to master it alone. If there is a large army going out at that time, according to the number of soldiers and horses to be dispatched, a corresponding number of thunderbolt chariots can be dispatched to cooperate.

"Yes." After hearing this, Guan Yu's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good way, but the brains of scholars turn quickly.

Zhang Fei shouted excitedly: "I will take charge of the Thunderbolt Chariot."

"Yes." Chen Ziming agreed to Zhang Fei without even thinking about it, and said to Zhang Fei with a smile: "However, the Thunderbolt Chariot is an independent army and cannot be merged with other legions. Since the third brother wants to command the Thunderbolt Army, he can no longer command the Heavy Cavalry Army."

"This..." Zhang Fei felt dizzy after hearing this, and finally had to compromise again. He looked at Chen Ziming with a displeased face, and he couldn't always take advantage of Chen Ziming.

Let Zhang Fei give up the heavy cavalry, how is it possible, the heavy cavalry charge is Zhang Fei's favorite thing, as for the thunderbolt chariot, anyway, it will not be necessary to cooperate with the heavy cavalry to attack.

Afterwards, Chen Ziming and others continued to test various new weapons. Compared with the original weapons, they were much more powerful and more flexible. However, the requirements for materials and technology were higher, and professional craftsmen were required to manufacture them. So production is limited.

After all the tests were completed, Chen Ziming said, "All new weapons need to be ordered by the military, and equipped to all armies as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness."

"Prime Minister." At this time, the factory manager said in a difficult way: "The materials needed for new weapons are very expensive, and the arsenal is short of money, and has been in arrears for subsidies for many days..."

In a word, money is needed. Don’t think that the arsenal belongs to Liu Bei. You don’t need money to produce weapons for Liu Bei.

This is still a small investment, and what really consumes money is the raw materials. Be it beef tendon, cowhide, or high-quality wood, they are all very expensive war resources, and they are not easy to obtain. Wood also said that a large area of ​​primitive land in the north of the Han Dynasty There are forests, but the freight is not cheap.

"The military department first sent this year's military expenditure to the arsenal, and immediately started producing new weapons." Chen Ziming immediately asked Guan Yu to send someone back to transfer the money.

Guan Yu nodded. There was no delay, so he immediately arranged for people to go back, and then said to Chen Ziming: "The military expenditure of the military department is limited, and there is a big gap."

It would be barely enough to just replace the new armor, but now that Chen Ziming wants to order all the new weapons, the expenditure cannot be afforded by the military. order, because it is impossible for Liu Bei to give Guan Yu so much money.

"I have my own way of dealing with money." Chen Ziming took over the problem.

Then Chen Ziming inspected the entire arsenal. This is the most advanced and complete factory in the world, with a production chain established. It occupies a terrific area. The production workshops are one after another. Is there any soldiers guarding sharp weapons to patrol back and forth.

"The defense is not enough. It is easy for the fine work to turn around and send another [-] troops to defend." These new technologies must not be leaked, otherwise, with the abilities of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, it will not be difficult to imitate them.

Cao Cao and Sun Quan are the shameless ones. Many techniques were learned secretly from Liu Bei. To deal with Liu Bei, the previous ones are fine, but things like Thunderbolt cars must not be exposed, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

563章 吉州

Three days later, Chen Ziming and his entourage arrived in Jizhou, standing on a hillside, looking at a bare hillside, and on the hillside, countless scratches covered all the green, and there were messy tree stumps standing on the hillside.

Looking at everything in front of him, Chen Ziming sighed in his heart, the ecology of that mountain was completely destroyed, except for a tree stump, even the weeds were pulled out, or they were cut down and uprooted.

But Chen Ziming has nothing to do. Liu Bei needs trees, countless trees, to produce weapons, and the legendary Daxingan Mountains in the Northeast is the best place to get materials. The trees here are almost inexhaustible. For this age, such consumption is simply impossible. Threats to the ecology of the Northeast.

But in just a few years, a piece of mountain forest just disappeared, Liu Bei's territory was heavily built, and most of them were made from local materials. Although it still can't cause an ecological crisis, but in the future, a hundred years is not enough, how about a thousand years?

"After unification, establish the rule of law..." This is Chen Ziming's only way. Only after Liu Bei unifies the world and ends the troubled times can he really start protecting the environment.

It's too early to say these things now, people can't survive, who cares about the environment, who cares about the future, even Chen Ziming is probably powerless.

"drive!"

"Tap Tat Tat..."

At the foot of the hillside where Chen Ziming was, a group of soldiers and horses came, wearing Han military uniforms, and came straight to the hillside where Chen Ziming was.

"The last general, Tian Kai, pay respects to the prime minister and the great general!"

The person who came was Tian Kai who ordered [-] soldiers to guard Jizhou, directly under Xu Sheng's army.Knowing that Chen Ziming and Guan Yu had come to Jizhou, he hurried to see him. As for Zhang Fei, after leaving the arsenal, he hurried back to train his heavy cavalry.

"Exemption."

Chen Ziming waved his hand and glanced at Tian Kai, a middle-aged general in armor in front of him. Chen Ziming still had an impression of this man. After Liu Bei took over Gongsun Zan's troops in Gongsun Zan's old army, Tian Kai had always belonged to Xu Sheng and guarded the northern land.

Although Tian Kai is not a famous general, he can be regarded as a second-rate general. He is one of the generals of the Liu Bei Group with a million members and guards the Northland.

At least in the north, in the lands of Jizhou and Heilongzhou, Tian Kai's name is considered famous. No matter the Jizhou rebellion or the resistance to the alien race in the grassland, Tian Kai has achieved outstanding results, and he can be regarded as the old man of the Liu Bei Group.

While looking at Tian Kai as a general of ten thousand people, he also does not look at the Liu Bei Group. There are only a few hundred people who can become a general of ten thousand people. It is impossible for a top-level fierce general and a first-class general to become a general at the level of a regiment commander.

Chen Ziming nodded to Tian Kai, Tian Kai had served under him before: "Is the land of Jizhou still stable?"

Tian Kai hurriedly said: "The people are quite stable. Now there is no war in the north, the local officials are so kind, and the clans dare not oppress. It is the virtue of the emperor. The people have no objection to the great man."

Some people rebelled in Jizhou and Heilongzhou, but the cause was natural disasters, and it wasn’t long before the people of Jizhou surrendered to Liu Bei, because they were newly settled by foreigners, and they were seduced by others. Dissatisfied, hurried to say good things.

"Don't pick up nice words." Chen Ziming shook his head, and said indifferently: "Jizhou and Heilongzhou are both integrated by foreigners. It is common sense to be wary of big men. Give more guidance. After a hundred years, they will be the real people of the big man. .”

"No!" Tian Kai hurriedly responded.

Chen Ziming glanced at the hundreds of soldiers and horses brought by Tian Kai, and suddenly asked: "Are there any local people from Jizhou in your army?"

"Yes, but not many." Tian Kai replied: "Most of the young and strong in Jizhou enlisted in the army, but they all went to the new barracks for unified training, and then assigned to each army. Most of the people in Jizhou were assigned to other armies. From all over Dahan."

"Is there a language barrier?" There is no Mandarin in this era, and the local dialects are mixed and difficult to unify. This is one of the reasons for the formation of local warlords. Local soldiers only recognize generals who speak their language.

Tian Kai lowered his head and said: "There are some shortcomings, but I have learned the words of the big man when I was in the new barracks, and it will not affect the military order."

"Very good."

Chen Ziming nodded in satisfaction. He had asked the Ministry of Education to plan a unified language, because Liu Bei's territory was concentrated in the north, and the northern dialect was the source of Mandarin for later generations, so Chen Ziming simply used the northern dialect as the standard and started to unify. The language of the Han Dynasty is used for the unification of the Han Dynasty.

Chen Ziming looked at Tian Kai in front of him and asked: "You soldiers and horses are scattered all over Jizhou, if you need to concentrate, how long will it take?"

Tian Kai replied without hesitation: "Report to the Prime Minister, with a military order, all the soldiers and horses in Jizhou can be assembled within half a month."

"Half a month..." After Chen Ziming heard this, he shook his head slightly. It wasn't that he felt too slow, but that the traffic in this era was really a headache. It took half a month to gather soldiers and horses in a state, and Jizhou could only be regarded as medium state.

"Has there been any changes in the grassland herdsmen?"

Chen Ziming has always been wary of the enemies on the grassland. It is good to say that the big man is strong. Once the big man is weak, the wolves on the grassland will be a disaster for the big man. Since ancient times, the biggest threat to the Central Plains has been the endless grassland, which has been unable to be completely eradicated. .

"Nowadays the grassland is uninhabited within a thousand miles, and there are no invincible cavalry within a thousand li." Tian Kai has been sending rangers to monitor the grassland movement. Adjacent to Jizhou is the original territory of Wuheng, which was later annexed by Xianbei.

Later, the powerful Xianbei defeated the mighty Xiongnu, unified the grassland, and then swelled to attack Liu Bei, angering the weak-looking prime minister in front of him. As you can imagine, the 20 Xianbei army was not enough to go back alive Thousands of people.

Qiu Liju, the powerful king of the grassland for a while, also played himself to death in the land of the big man. Xianbei is now facing the counterattack of the Huns, and the grassland is now even more chaotic than the big man. .

Chen Ziming nodded, following the same information as the secret guard sent back, and then said: "Don't be careless, you should send more rangers to monitor the movement of the grassland, and you can also send a small number of soldiers and horses into the grassland to get familiar with the grassland environment and train the soldiers on the grassland. Battle formation."
